The murder and disposal of Lizzi Marriott
Today's testimony makes me sad and angry for Lizzi Marriott and her loved ones.
Lizzi was lured to Mazzaglia under false pretenses by his girlfriend, Kathryn McDonough (one of Lizzi's co-workers), so the couple could have sex with her.
Lizzi refused to kiss Mazzaglia or watch the couple have sex when he asked her, so Mazzaglia strangled her from behind and then raped her while calling her all kinds of names.
The couple then stuffed Lizzi in a suit case and dumped her in the river.
That's what Kathryn McDonough told the court today; she cried near the end of her testimony, so court was stopped briefly.
The defense is gonna put her through the ringer on cross-examination -- they've gotta make the jury believe that she's the one who killed Lizzi.
Barring some huge surprise being revealed and confirmed during McDonough's cross, I don't think Mazzaglia has a chance in hell of beating this murder wrap. I hope he doesn't anyway. Lizzi died a terrible death.
Lizzi's father was in court today listening to the account of his daughters last hours and was understandably broken up.
